Alarm going off

(1/6) > >>

Presumably this is the dreaded powersounder problem, but my car's alarm (lights and horn) has gone off on it's own a couple of times for no reason.  What is the procedure for removing it safely without compromising the central locking or immobiliser (if there is one)?

Just unplug & remove it .... that's it.  :y

The alarm can also be set off if the bonnet switch bracket is bent a little so the switch is barely making contact. You can prove it by unplugging the switch and see what happens, though this is usually a summer problem as the bonnet flexes in the heat.

It isn't the dreaded powersounder problem. That problems is the internal batteries leak, cause a short circuit, and sets fire to the car.
Something is setting off your alarm. The usual culprit is the bracket which holds the bonnet alarm switch gradually bends downwards and allows the switch to open, setting off the alarm. Bend the bracket up a little and see if it cures the problem.
